While photos of unknown people (about whom I don't feel anything) is not exactly my cup of tea as desktop theming, I agree *some* will like that (how many, maybe we can learn by having an official proposal and see the feed-back).

But it would be a good background for me, and it would be nice to have it available in the collection of backgrounds. For the default background, we can go with alienated dolphins, as far as I am concerned... ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Tomorrow is the solstice, after that I start gaining sunlight... seven glorious minutes a day. What exactly do you like about the picture? You have to be very careful with human forms in images. If I was going to recreate this as a widely used image, at the very least I'd make sure you can see all of the appendages. And I'd abstract it so the forms were humanoid instead of actual people. We won't avoid alieanating the dolphins in our user community, but we may attract Martian users.
